Farewell Facebook

Farewell Facebook

We've had or ups, we've had our downs, we've had our memories, we've had our frowns, but I think my time with Facebook is starting to dwindle. I always said that the main reason I use social media is for my work and that is absolutely true so now that my artist page...

Sampa The Great

Sampa The Great

I almost don’t know where to begin with Sampa The Great last night. The tickets were bought so long ago and so much has been going on the past few weeks that I’d forgotten I had this to look forward to until Sunday night. I looked in my calendar and felt nourished in anticipation.

How Do We Halt Harassment?

How Do We Halt Harassment?

National Diversity Award Nomination

National Diversity Award Nomination

I don't know who it was, but someone just nominated me for the National Diversity Awards and said these wonderful things and I'm honestly a mess. Thank you, thank you! And if you want to vote, I think you can via the link below 👇🏽 "Ngaio is an...

How to #RAVEBRAID

How to #RAVEBRAID

Some days you wake up and you just want different hair. I had a similar moment 2 weeks ago and went on a huge hair dyeing fail which Nu Mi Style in St George corrected ensuring my curls were given some TLC. I've been deep conditioning like a beast with Cantu's Deep...
